Description

Rocklord exudes power. He is striking for his impressive physical strength, having developed significantly since he was purchased at the Magic Millions Premier Sale in January 2013 by Gollan Racing. Tony Gollan says “he has a real presence” and his work to date suggests he has a promising racing career in front of him. Our STRATUM x Bethany syndicate was subscribed at the beginning of 2014 with 13 owners behind him.

We’re proud to have a racehorse of his pedigree in our Adrenaline stable. STRATUM has an enviable record as a sire of thoroughbreds that are fast and forward in development. He has excelled at stud in a relatively short time, and was crowned Australia’s Champion 2YO Sire with a first crop that included CRYSTAL LILY (winner of the Golden Slipper in 2010). His offspring have earned more than $21 million in prize money, and we’ve been encouraged by recent successes.

This horse is out of one of Queensland’s strongest broodmare families. Bethany is a winning daughter of successful Queensland matriarch Huntington Girl. Huntington Girl is a one of the best Queensland broodmares; she has foaled an impressive 13 runners for 12 winners including stakes winners DYNAMIC LOVE and KEY BAR NIGHTS as well as stakes placegetters Arimathea and Grouse Lane and her lineage just keeps producing winners such as this season’s 3YO stakes winner BARBED and stakes placed Bold Circle, with the latter who from just 2 starts has beaten UNENCUMBERED (winner of the 2014 Magic Millions 2YO Classic). Bethany is already proven as a broodmare, having produced Stakes placed Saraji (more than $275,000 in prizemoney). Bethany appears to be nicking well with the DANEHILL sire line as all of her best performing foals have this thoroughbred royalty in their blood. STRATUM is the highest achieving sire that she has partnered with to date and we’re looking for further on-track success in 2014 with Rocklord.
